Unfortunately, had a little snafu on the way to Somerset last night. Nothing a new tire didn’tsolve! We blew another tire on the turnpike, about 30 minutes from Somerset.The Cooleys were too far ahead of us…so guess who was the helper changing atire on the turnpike at 10:00 at night? After that, all went well and we madeit to Walmart.

Surprisingly, we did get a good night’s sleep. The temperature went down and there were nodiesel trucks to keep us awake.

Lunch was at a rest stop in Ohio. Chase brought his scooter along and was able toscooter around while we ate. (This is a GREAT outlet for him!) Another great outletin the truck is his drum pad. He brought it along to practice his marching bandmusic. It’s very quiet and we actually enjoy listening to him! He’s probablygetting more practice on the road than he would at home.

Today we were in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois!

We made it to Casey, Illinois at 8:00 PM central time. (That’s 9:00 EST.) Wegained an hour when we crossed the line into Illinois. Traffic jam on 70delayed us for about an hour. After eating dinner we are taking showers,relaxing, and getting ready to rest up for another day of driving tomorrow. Weare thankful for an uneventful day today!
